No, no, no! What the hell ever happened to PARENTING? You know...when people expected parents to be able to control their children in public places? My ten-year-old can handle PG-13 movies. If she doesn't understand something, she asks me after the movie's over. If she gets scared, she...

I wish I could remember which game this was; maybe I dreamed it? But in this game, as you advanced in level you would gain abilities, many of which would have a finishing move if you happened to kill an enemy with it. The higher level you were, the cooler these moves would be. The best thing...

IDK, I played an awful lot of lightening bolts before I got out of this game back in 1995. I don't know when this indestructible pansy-bot came out, but we didn't have it in my day. *limps off to sidelines leaning heavily on cane*

I worked in a video store just before widescreen was popular. Most of our rentals were still VHS, this was so long ago, and we had to secure a $400 deposit to rent out a DVD player. No matter what I did, I could not explain the widescreen concept to people and have them understand it. Most...

Ryoko summons a demon to destroy you, but then Tenchi invites you to stay with him, so she has to growl jealously instead.

IDK, I liked the Pipe Dreams in Bioshock. It would bring a lull to the action when I was freaking out. That's just me, though. I don't play a lot of shooters, and they can freak me out. Prey, anyone? Freaky. I do agree on the characterization. I am a 30-something woman. If I'm going to...

Whatever, you guys. Someone should get disability if they can't work because of the condition of their body, whatever the cause. They should have to see a doctor and be actively managing this condition, whatever it is, and trying to get so they can get back to work. For those of you who...

Milk is good for cereal and cookies and drinking with meals. Especially sweet stuff like pancakes, but also with macaroni and cheese. Oh, and it's in mac and cheese. I love mac and cheese. I used to drink 1%, but I've been drinking 2% lately as I was pregnant and now I'm nursing. Milkfat...

Have you forgotten what happened with Oblivion?

...no...CROWBAR?!!1!? What was the point of that? Lame. LAME! I want the minute I spent watching that BACK!

Did that come right out of the fridge or something? I was expecting the end of Ghostbusters, but ended up with last year's marshmallow bunny. Do it again, but warm up the fluff so it splatters!

congrats on the new baby. We just had a baby, and got a Wii. One of the nurses in the hospital was super fussy, and told us, "Never shake your baby, no matter how angry you are." We joked about how the baby could play Wii with us, about taping her to the Wii-mote. Which birthed the phrase...

This. Modern parents often pay too much attention to their babies/children. Babies want to be with you while you do what you do, not to be fussed over constantly. It's hard to explain to brand new first time parents that they are only babies for a short while. I just had a baby in...

My well-meaning husband, thinking he was cleaning up, put some of my favorite game disks in a box and put in storage without labeling the box. I go to the storage unit every so often thinking I'm just going to knuckle down and find them, but when I'm confronted with that wall of identical...

Yes and no. My city has 200,000 people and a community college that people commute to from pretty far. It's smack in the middle of an highly agricultural area, but it's CA's wine country. and no, these people had the decency to act embarrassed when we told them we were siblings.
